however, they must be very closely allied. The chief discrepancies 

 are in the colour of the antennae which Putzeys described as 

 ferrugineous with a double black line terminating before the 

 apex, the first joint of the tarsi being similarly lineated; and 

 the finely granulated episteme and its wings. With regard to 

 the latter character, it is no doubt individual as I have seen 

 examples of allied species with granulated episteme which differ 

 in no other respects from other examples of the same species. 

 In the Rangoon examples and in others I have seen from 

 Cochin China the antennae are dark brown, ferruginous at the 

 base and apex. The thorax in C. convexicoUis is short and broad 

 and rounded on the sides and vermiculate rugulose on the upper 

 surface. Putzeys seems to have been in doubt as to the locality 

 of the specimen he described; in the "Postscriptum" he says: 

 " Sumatra or Ternate " in his " Revision Generale, " he gives 

 " Celebes " only.
